Yes, this seems to happen more frequent with brands like realtek. All hardware has failure rates, generally speaking more expensive and enterprise gear fails with less frequency, but can still fail. Personally, I don't enjoy hardware failure, so I invest in stable clean power and great hardware. It may cost more in the overall power budget but is less headache because things just don't fail as often.

This is a software issue anyway with this Realtek NIC.

Not the first time it's happened so I have mitigations in place, unfortunately because I shuffled some VMs around yesterday due to a power outage, the mitigations failed. That has since been sorted.
